Fiocchi 12ga #2 Golden 25/250

The Fiocchi 12ga #2 Golden 25/250 is a zinc-plated steel waterfowl load engineered for precision pattern density and hard-hitting knockdown power. Built on proven ammunition design principles refined over two decades, this 12-gauge shotshell delivers uniform shot uniformity and optimized velocities that serious waterfowl hunters depend on for reliable field performance across diverse hunting conditions.

This round features 1.25 ounces of zinc-plated steel shot loaded to 3-inch length specifications. The zinc-plated coating protects against corrosion while maintaining ballistic consistency shot-to-shot. The densest possible pattern achievable with this payload ensures that pellet distribution reaches target areas with the energy retention needed for ethical, effective waterfowl harvests. Velocity optimization is tuned to maximize energy transfer without excessive recoil, allowing shooters to maintain accuracy through multiple shots during active hunting scenarios.

Waterfowl hunters—particularly those pursuing ducks and geese in coastal marshes, inland lakes, and refuge systems—select Fiocchi 12ga ammunition for consistency and terminal performance. The steel construction complies with non-toxic shot requirements mandated across North American waterfowl zones. Operators running high-volume trap and clays competitions also rely on this platform for economical, repeatable practice and training loads that match field-load ballistics.

Fiocchi's U.S. manufacturing heritage and two-decade track record in steel waterfowl loads reflects established market positioning in the precision ammunition segment. The 12-gauge #2 shot size offers the ballistic sweet spot between pattern density and individual pellet energy—larger than #3 but smaller than BB, calibrated for waterfowl at typical field ranges. This cartridge format represents the standard choice among competitive and serious recreational waterfowl hunters seeking dependable ammunition backed by proven field results.
